Working from her studio on the Isle of Wight, Jane Cox draws inspiration from nature and the landscape around her. Her wheel thrown ceramics are glazed with a speckled blue green glaze which shimmers across the surface, reminiscent of the rhythms of waves in water. Cox allows her designs to flow across her ceramics, connecting pattern and form; the curving shapes within the surface pattern are designed to echo the curves of profiles of the forms underneath. At the heart of Cox’s work is the desire to enhance the way food is held, contained and shared: these are objects intended for use as well as being objects designed to inspire and encourage contemplation.
